Atlassian Design System

The comparison rates the first four; the research checked typed props beside them. Every link below was opened on November 8, 2026.

• Design tokens: Yes. @atlaskit/tokens 20.9.1 ships 78 JSON files of design tokens (opens in a new tab), such as atlassian-light.json. They are shaped for Figma, not written in the W3C format.
• Agent access: Yes. The official ADS MCP server runs hosted and as the npm package @atlaskit/ads-mcp, both set out on the With AI page (opens in a new tab), beside a public command-line tool.
• Docs agents can read: Yes. Beside its llms.txt (opens in a new tab) are an llms-full.txt (opens in a new tab), split files for design tokens, components and primitives, and a DESIGN.md marked as an alpha.
• Guidance for agents: Yes. The With AI section (opens in a new tab) covers skills, an AGENTS.md snippet, the CLI and the server. The skills are marked private to Atlassian for now; the Yes rests on the rest, including the full-text file, which tells agents to use only the design tokens it lists.
• Typed props: Yes. The components file (opens in a new tab) gives each component a table of props with their types, and the @atlaskit packages ship type definitions.

Two parts of this entry depend on how the pages were read. The With AI page draws itself in the browser, so the research read the HTML it serves, and its quotes come from that. The Guidance rating would be stronger with the skills public; until they are, a team outside Atlassian gets the instructions in the full-text file and the AGENTS.md snippet, not the skills. The packages are under Apache 2.0, and the source is mirrored on Bitbucket, not GitHub.

Teams building for Atlassian’s products or on Forge, who want an agent to load the whole design system as text and check its design tokens by name.

• Whether the public parts are enough for your agents without the private skills.
• Whether your design token pipeline reads Figma-shaped JSON, or needs a step that converts it.
• That the output should look like Atlassian. Outside Atlassian’s products, it gives you a strong agent kit for someone else’s brand.

Atlassian shows what docs an agent can read look like at full size: one index, one file with everything, and smaller files by subject. The guide to docs agents can read shows how to do the same for a system of your own.
